Qualifying LAW-GAT is required before an eligible law graduate can apply to a Bar Council for enrolment as an advocate.
The test consists of multiple-choice questions, and candidates need at least 50 out of 100 marks to qualify. The qualifying score is valid for two years, and candidates are allowed a maximum of seven attempts.
On test day, candidates should bring a printed roll number slip and original valid CNIC or passport. HEC advises applicants to follow the details mentioned on their roll number slip carefully.
Candidates should rely on the official HEC ETC portal for any change in the October 18 test schedule.
